I found my grade five poetry writing book. I think it's grade five, or maybe six. Anyone else have things like this lying around somewhere? Quite a few funny ones in here. And drawings I made.

In the fifth grade my parents were called in to discuss my "academic work". I wrote a book report on "Denying the Holocaust" and the teacher seemed to think that it was an innapropriate topic.
So then they sent me to the school board's shrink since there was obviously something wrong with me.
I got to do a bunch of IQ tests and stuff. Turns out that even though I'm severly dyslexic I was bored in class. And I didn't plaugerize the book report as she thought.
She was a cow.
We used to say that the reason why she didn't have a husband was because she ate him.

omg, that's what we said about the librarian at our school. Then we kept telling all the kindergarten and grade one kids that if you're bad, you have to stay in the library after hours and you might not survive.

Oh this woman was HUGE. She had to get special chairs sent in because she broke all the other chairs. And to make matters worse, turns out that my aunt took her job at another school, so automatically she hated my family.
My youngest brother was HORRIBLE to her though. He used to call her "Mother Earth" or "The big mean eating machine" behind her back and would get the whole class going.

My grade four teacher ended up graduating with my Mum and her twin sister, so she knew me. Turns out the teacher hated them.
I always had the younger grades listening to me. In grade six, this one boy randomly punched me in the nose at recess, and then all these rabid little kids just jumped him it was hilarious. The teachers couldn't stop laughing, there was seriously like 15-20 kindergardeners, grade one and grade two kids chasing this guy who was screaming and running away. This kid was like HUGE
And snow fort wars. I'd be building a snow fort and would send this army of younger kids to go steal the snowballs from another fort and help me build mine.

My brother had an army of minons. I was just always the girl that could play with the boys because I knew sports.
Though, we were having an iceball whipping contest one time...and you stood how ever many steps back and would WHIP it at the glass on the door and see if you could break it.
Turns out you can. Turns out if you throw it hard enough it will goall the way through and hurt teachers too.

Funny thing I just remembered.
I got suspended for stealing snow from a snow fort in grade 5. Suspended 3 days for "stealing snow".
The principal hated me, just completely despised me even though I'd never acted out in any way.
The same principal suspended me for 5 days because at lunch time one day I was at the top of a flight of stairs (about 10 stairs) and my friend was at the bottom. I had his lunchbox and was in a hurry so he told me to toss it down to him, I did and my aim wasn't the greatest. Everything exploded all over the place.
My buddy had a fit and basically went to the principal. Safe to say that friendship ended right there.
It's funny though because one of my best teachers was in that school, his name was Mr. Hare; the kids used to have fun with that one. He was unorthodox and always tried to get us out of the classroom whenever possible. He didn't like the principal either and was a good friend to me.
Good times. I miss those days.
I remember hiding the 'suspension form' from my mother and being terrified about it if she found out. I mistakenly told somebody that if she found out I was afraid she would 'hit' me. Stupid decision on my part. Sure enough, first day back at school and I was called into the office to talk to Social Service reps. The questions they asked me were so insane, I actually walked out on them.
Later on my mother called the board and got this principal fired. Apparently multiple complaints were leveled against her.

Wow. Yeah, we ended up not being allowed to "steal snow from other children" but we kept doing it anyway.
In high school we had this really insane creepy old lady vice principal, who had a snake tattoo on her ankle. Everyone would walk by and laugh. She was replaced this with this nice older woman, who became the principal a year later, but she was from Toronto and a Leafs fan. Of course she was the principal during the Sens-Leafs playoff years, oh man. The teasing in the school (usually lead by me) was so funny. Before she'd come in every morning, we'd sneak into the office, one of the secretaries let 5 of us in, and cover her entire door, desk, wall, floor, everything Sens and "Leafs suck". We actually went class to class all week and the teachers were all in on it with their classes.
Everyone got in on it, the entire door was covered in Sens pictures, sens scoring on the leafs pictures, "LEAFS SUCK!" and "golf leafs golf!" things (it was funny in grade 7-8), and one of the phys ed teachers even left golf clubs at her door.
My math teacher, (I hate math still), had me and two boys dress up in complete hockey gear complete with sens jerseys and sens stickers on our helmets, and called downstairs to the principal to report trouble kids who won't leave the class. she saw us then laughed for a good 10 minutes.
Wasn't fun when the Sens lost the series and she had me go on the PA system "and the leafs won the battle of ontario ... again... the sens choked. Go leafs go!" to the whole school.
that principal was awesome. In grade 9 or 10 all the students decided to go on strike, I forget why, but we did. We all made signs and wouldn't do anything in our French class, so she came up with pizza and that was the end of that "strike".
We had a motto at my elementary school. "If you pick up snow, you pick up trouble."
And in grade 5, me and friends used to play Lord of the Rings on the soccer field. So the next day on the announcements we hear, "The kids who are playing Lord of the Rings on the soccer field will have to STOP! Somebody will end up getting hurt."
It was hilarious because everything was imagination.

We played wolves and would attack groups of other kids.
In my high school yearbook, one of the guys wrote "do you remember the ice dragon versus fire dragon war we'd have?" I don't remember that at all but

Wow.
Quite the overactive imaginations!
Though, we used to play war games growing up. We'd build trenches out of the snow and have "grenades" and use poster paint that we stole out of the art room so you could see the "damage" they did.
I started off as the nurse because I was the only girl, until I said that whoever it was could die. So I became a soilder.
The best was when my friend, who was a year older than me, tried to infaltrate the other "trench" (we had the better side, inside the tire forest) and ended up getting just pelted by these red snowballs.
Once they found out what we were doing, we were all stuck inside for a week. Then someone thought it would be a bright idea to bring a magnifying glass to school in the summer. We burnt our names in the playground equipment.

That principal should be fired. The fact that she has to bribe students with pizza to get them to do work says alot about how incapable she is at doing her job properly.
